Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 528 Pang Tong's Request
"It's just now, should Second Master Yuan also pay for your own life to save your life?"

It was hard to convince Yuan Xi, how could Liu Xie let him live in peace without charging any interest?

"I am alone, and I had a fiancée before, but it is a pity that I have become your concubine now. As for now, even the only general is said to be demoted by you, besides, I have nothing else to win King Wu's eyes."

Yuan Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then gave a wry smile. Speaking of these unlucky things, he was actually somewhat open-minded now, and he didn't have the feeling of going crazy and heartbroken just thinking about it like before.

It seemed that this defeat was not entirely a bad thing for him.

"Second Master Yuan forgot, there is also Himiko!"

Liu Xie's voice was slightly cold, he hated Himiko, the lord of the Japanese kingdom, especially Yuan Xi and Cangji.

"I thought King Wu had forgotten this person. Speaking of which, she has extraordinary strategies and tactics, and I don't know how she was deprived of the throne. This time, she took the initiative to contact me and asked for cooperation. .”

Yuan Xi suddenly realized that he was praising Beimi Gonghu in his words.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter how smart a dying person is, as long as he dares to plot against me, he will be a pile of bones!"

Liu Xie was furious, and Himiko was cruel and ruthless. In order to restore the country, he was willing to let his most loyal veteran and two thousand subordinates all be used as bait. With such a heart, if he didn't restrain it early, it would definitely become a big disaster in the future.

"Haha, I'm afraid that when King Wu sees her, he won't be able to say such violent words."

Yuan Xi has now forgotten his status as a prisoner, and is very comfortable with Liu Xie in Tamsui, without restraint.

Liu Xie, however, was confused and confused, and said: "It seems that Second Master Yuan knows where he is?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Actually, King Wu already has the answer in his heart, so why bother to ask me for proof?"

"He is indeed among the prisoners!"

Liu Xie also wondered, even Yuan Xi personally led the troops here, how could Himiko retreat completely and hide behind to watch the show?
Sure enough, both of them came, and unfortunately, they were both captured.

Liu Xie couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Shi Wansui, only to find that he was also surprised and didn't know, so he was relieved.

"Yuan Jing, you go with the second son Yuan, find Himi Gonghu, and lock him up alone. When I return to Qingzhou, I will settle the score with him."

Now that he already knew that Himiko was among the captives, Liu Xie was not in a hurry to settle with him immediately, but waited until he returned to Qingzhou, and then served him with various tortures, forcing him to ask everything he wanted to know.

"Here."

Qi Jiguang immediately surrendered his hands to accept the order, and Yuan Xi also got up and agreed.

However, a hint of a meaningful smile flashed across the corner of Yuan Xi's mouth, a slightly narrow smile that even Liu Xie couldn't detect.

The big ship was advancing rapidly, the waves were rushing backwards, and the journey of a thousand miles was only a day's work. Liu Xie and others quickly returned to Donglai.

This time, there is joy in the danger, and the harvest is really considerable.

Both Yuan Xi and Himi Gonghu were individually and closely guarded by Liu Xie and Gan Ning.

As for the eight thousand captives, although they used to be enemies, they were all Han Chinese after all, and Liu Xie did not kill them in a fit of anger. Instead, he made them all into coolies to help the people repair the city walls and dig canals as corvee labor. Constantly laboring as an atonement.

If you behave well, you can also reduce your crimes as appropriate, restore your status as a commoner, and live and work in Qingzhou in peace and contentment.

After hastily giving instructions, Liu Xie led everyone back to Qi State in Qingzhou without stopping, which made Yu Yunwen, Xue Li and others feel relieved.

This overseas event has to be planned with them, so Liu Xie didn't intend to hide it because of the thrills and twists and turns. The few people sat together and began to discuss it in detail.

"That's fine. With our current strength, if we go to Dongpu rashly, I'm afraid we will be involved in this vortex and it will be difficult to get out, and we will consume all the advantages we have accumulated so hard. Send someone to convey orders to Xuzhou. The troops have been mobilized."

Liu Xie was the first to speak. Through this accident, he was also secretly reflecting on whether he had lost his mind because of his too much hatred for the Japanese, ignoring that the Japanese were not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

Yu Yunwen nodded when he heard this. This was actually his worry, but Liu Xie had already made up his mind before, and as a minister, he could only try his best to assist.

"My lord, you don't have to be so upset. We have captured Yuan Xi this time, so we can have a good negotiation with Yuan Shao."

Yu Yunwen smiled faintly, it seemed that he and Liu Xie wanted to go together.

The only thing that worried the two of them was that now they lacked nothing, and Yuan Shao couldn't produce anything that could make them feel excited.

Seeing the lord and his ministers thinking hard and looking quite funny, Pang Tong grinned his teeth and said with a chuckle, "Since the lord doesn't know what to ask Yuan Shao, Pang Tong has the courage to ask the lord to pass this opportunity on to me."

"Oh? Shi Yuan, why are you and I being so polite? Just say what you think. Even if Yuan Shao can't satisfy you, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, never thinking that Pang Tong, who has always had no desires, would suddenly take up this opportunity.

Pang Tong worked hard and made great contributions. Liu Xie had never seriously rewarded him. Seeing that he had this request, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to make up for it.

It's just that it's a bit evil to say this out loud, but fortunately, the ancients were relatively simple.

"Thank you, my lord."

Pang Tong cupped his hands and bowed to the end, looking extremely serious and formal. It seemed that what he said was not a trivial matter.

"In the battle of Youzhou, Gongsun Zan was defeated. Not only did he die in the battle, but many of his white-horse followers were also captured and suffered terribly. The two generals Zilong and Fengshan were both from the white-horse ranks, and they would do it from time to time. I sighed at this. Therefore, Pang Tong wanted to ask my lord to take this opportunity to let Yuan Shao release these white horse righteous men."

Hearing what Pang Tong said, Liu Xie remembered the past.

Speaking of which, he and Gongsun Zan had a pretty good friendship, and he also attached great importance to Zhao Yun and Gao Chong, but he had never thought about it as carefully as Pang Tong. He secretly felt ashamed, and immediately nodded deeply: "Shi Yuan said this. The intention is quite deep, and I have been taught."

Pang Tong's request was so formal, not only because he had a good relationship with Zhao Yun and Gao Chong, and it was as simple as taking the opportunity to help them.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to tell Liu Xie that sometimes, there are some things that can win the loyalty of generals more than the so-called rewards for appointing officials.

Even the two generals Zhao Yun and Gao Chong who were already loyal to him.
